The last in the series based on Jeff Mangum's work on 'In The Aeroplane Over The Sea'. 'Oh Comely' attempts to be just that. Elizaveta did an amazing job, as did Chrisna de Bruyn and Sjani at One League. This was also published in NAAG.

My Sentiments really. Patience. My earliest lyrical memory. But now, one by one as I go forward. I will try my best to add one shoot a day for the next few at least. This was called 'Ghost' and is a photographic eulogy inspired by my favourite songwriter (one of two) Jeff Mangum. It was published by NAAG. Agyness Deyn and Fiona Byrne's New York based online Mag. It's a really cool mag. Thank you to them for liking the story.

This post is quite hard for me. Maybe my lack of putting up new pictures has had something to do with worrying about my Grandfather over the last 5 or so months. Those who met him would agree that he was indeed a legend. He was not just a relation, he was a true friend and has taught me and made me everything that I am. Go well friend and thank you. My heart goes out to my grandmother today who after 72 years of marriage is alone. You are both incredibly special people who loved and lived life to the full.

This Neutral Milk Hotel song rings true.

"In The Aeroplane Over The Sea"

What a beautiful faceI have found in this placeThat is circling all round the sunWhat a beautiful dreamThat could flash on the screenIn a blink of an eye and be gone from meSoft and sweetLet me hold it close and keep it here with me, me

And one day we will dieAnd our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the seaBut for now we are youngLet us lay in the sunAnd count every beautiful thing we can seeLove to beIn the arms of all I'm keeping here with me, me

What a curious life we have found here tonightThere is music that sounds from the streetThere are lights in the cloudsAnna's ghost all aroundHear her voice as it's rolling and ringing through meSoft and sweetHow the notes all bend and reach above the trees, trees

Now how I remember youHow I would push my fingers throughYour mouth to make those muscles moveThat made your voice so smooth and sweetNow we keep where we don't knowAll secrets sleep in winter clothesWith one you loved so long agoNow he don't even know his name

What a beautiful faceI have found in this placeThat is circling all round' the sunAnd when we meet on a cloudI'll be laughing out loudI'll be laughing with everyone I seeCan't believe how strange it is to be anything at all
